What Airline should you fly with?

We have all been there. Looking to book a ticket for the perfect destination. There is one thing that we all take into consideration: The Price!!! We all try to get the best deal because if there is one thing that we don’t want to spend all our money on when leaving for the perfect vacation is the flight. But do you take which airline you are flying with into consideration? I know, I do! Here is my run-down on Airline to fly with and my personal recommendation.

AIR FRANCE

International Flight: Yes

Interior flight U.S.: No

Interior flight in Europe: Yes

Price: Rarely the cheapest option but usually in the lowest price range.

Air France is a company that a lot of people use to fly to Europe, I have used it a few time and I have to say it is definitely not my favorite. The plane is great, comfort is okay but I have more than once had to deal with Stewarts and flight attendant that were far from amazing when it comes to service on board. I have often had a good laugh and also kind of felt bad for them thinking they were the only bilingual person on board and have them make comments about customers that did not speak either French or English and that is to me, far from being professional. I think that the service that they provide has probably disappointed me on more flight than it has pleased me and this is why now I do try to not use them when I fly. Especially on really long flights.

DELTA

International Flight: Yes

Interior flight U.S.: Yes

Interior flight in Europe: No

Price: Usually one of the Cheapest option available.

I have been flying with Delta a lot and one of the reasons for it is that I believe that they have a really good service for the price they offer. Be careful!!! Sometimes some of Delta’s flight are operated by Air France especially going to France or even through Europe. So watch out for it, make sure you know what you are paying for. Delta’s planes are comfortable, their service is great I have never had any issues with them, on the contrary, I have been able to change some of my flight for free, or even got upgraded to direct flights when they still had space available instead of letting me on my flight with connections.

BRITISH AIRWAYS

International Flight: Yes

Interior flight U.S.:

Interior flight in Europe: Yes

Price: Usually not the cheapest option available but if you take a flight to Europe with a connection in England they might end up being cheaper than other company.

British Airways is one of the companies that I really like but do not get to fly with that often and this for two reasons: One they are rarely the cheapest option for the kind of flights I am looking for. Two, when they are the cheapest option it is usually because they make you have a connection through Heathrow Airport in England which can be a pain in the ass. If you ever get a connection through this airport make sure that you have a large window of time between your two flights because you have to go through border control and through security all over again which if you get there at a time when a lot of flights are getting in and out of this airport this can take hours. However, their planes are really comfortable, their service is great and their food might be one of the least disgusting in-flight food I ever got so that’s a plus.

ICELANDAIR

International Flight: Yes

Interior flight U.S.: No

Interior flight in Europe: No

Price: Icelandair can be one of the really cheap option if not the cheapest for flying internationally if you don’t mind havind a transfer in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Their plane and service are really nice. I do not believe that there is food delivered on the plane but with a transfer in Reykjavik the flights are not too long and they have food available at the airport. I have used icelandair a few time and was always pleased by the service they offered. I often fly with a transfer to get cheaper flight and the Reykjavik airport is relatively small and easy to navigate, no need to make sure that you have multiple hours to spend at the airport for security and border control because this airport is efficient and everything goes really fast.

SOUTHWEST

International Flight: Only between the US and Central America

Interior flight U.S.: Yes

Interior flight in Europe: No

Price: You can best the best price for US interior flight if you go on southwest at the right time. Flights are usually not more expensive than other airline but can be way cheaper sometimes.

Southwest is one of my favorite airline to fly with when I fly within the US. First of all, you can often find really cheap flight if you are willing to fly early or late at night. They also often have offers and sales on flights. In adition to that, Southwest flights are usually pretty empty which means you will probably have a whole raw of seats to yourself. Their service is great and their plane are pretty comfortable. Southwest is definitly an airline that I would recommend to anyone flying within the US.

AMERICAN AIRLINES

International Flight: Yes

Interior flight U.S.: Yes

Interior flight in Europe: Yes (limited)

Price: Middle-Price. Seems to have become more expensive in the past few years.

I use to fly American Airlines as much as Delta or Air France in the beginning. However, it seems like theya re rareky the cheapest option nowadays. They are more likely to be in the middle range prices. They do have flights with the Europe but usually with a transfer through London Heathrow Airport. I have not fly with American Airline in a while but I remember enjoying my flights.

Finding the perfect airline can be complicated to start your vacation or business trip the right way. I hope my reviews of these airlines helped you and I hope that you can enjoy your next flight as much as I enjoyed mine.
